Plan to buy Q5 to pair with IE800 S on the go. Could anyone shed some light on which amp module I should get. Considering between am3b and am5.

AM5 :)

Much more useful if you'll upgrade down the road, or if you'll get a pair of over-the-ear headphones, especially if those will be hard to drive

AM3B is better only if you are looking for the thickest sound possible form Q5, otherwise AM5 is more universal, more natural tone, larger soundstage, better PRaT and better dynamics.

You'rte only driving IEMs - so stick with the included balanced AM3A module. If you are driving headphones needing more power later, you can either add an AM5 (if you want single ended) or simply use the balanced socket.

I use balanced with my HD800S and its pretty good.

I like the AM3B more over the AM3A. For my style listening, the AM3B and the first gen AM3 has more lowend and better dynamics for my IEM's. Rumbles my JVC's too. But the AM5 has way more dynamics when driving fully size headphones.

I like the AM5 compared to AM3A with IEMs, provides extra dynamics IME...

Haha, everyone has a different opinion it would seem.

For the record, I have not heard the AM3B.

Can you tell your team to expedite the development of your fiio music app for android? I need to be able to access the filters because as of now the device sounds like the sabre dac in my Lg V20. I need a different sound or I'll have to return the product to the store. I asked in the forum how it would compare before I bought it but no one said anything.

Hey guys... Just have an inquiry... Hope I'm not breaking forum rules... I'm not using mine much and would rather get a pool cue... I will post it in the for sale section but I have no idea what would be a fair price... I would say it's in 9.5/10 condition and has the leather case and (2) usb / USB c cables that doesn't drain the battery... Thx for the tip

Just installed. The Bluetooth performance is greatly improved (range and stability) - with my iPhone SE. Thanks FiiO - completes the Q5 IMO. I know ti may not be the same for Android users, but for an iOS / iPhone user - this now becomes a "perfect" product!
